Let’s go said the crow Not now said the cow But when said the hen Don’t know said the doe Hey look said the rook Big truck said the duck Go peep said the sheep Not me said the bee We’re there said the bear Where’s there said the hare Who’s we said the flea We few said the shrew No juice said the goose Need gas said the ass That’s that said the bat Look here said the deer What’s that said the rat It’s fuel said the mule It’s full said the bull Time then said the wren What for said the boar Think big said the pig Drive quick said the chick Not that said the cat Let’s jog said the dog Let’s sail said the quail No boat said the goat Let’s vote said the stoat You wish said the fish We’re off said the sloth Rough ride said the ide Rough road said the toad Can’t see said the flea Thick fog said the frog Turn left said the eft Yes Mam said the ram Three blocks said the fox We’re there said the mare Quick, brake said the snake Don’t skid said the squid Just park said the shark That’s odd said the cod Messed up said the pup Why’s that said the gnat Wrong house said the mouse Oh damn said the lamb What now said the sow Let’s think said the skink Move on said the swan Where to said the roo Go back said the yak The zoo? said the ewe Of course said the horse Okay said the ray Fuel’s out said the trout Oh **** said the buck

Actually, I did… I’m still pretty well empty headed, inspiration wise, and it was a way to get words on the ‘page’. Didn’t expect to post it but it kept nagging at me, so I offered it up for inspection. Glad you enjoyed, Ilene. Terry

I dunno about a roll. I’ve been kicking this about for a while, tweaking it now and then. Finally posted it to prove I was still alive ;-)
